I can communicate with the Digi ME through the serial port, but when I set the IP address, it keeps the old one and the new one stays in “Stored Configuration”. How can I refresh the IP address that is stored?

Thanks

Guillermo

Have you solved the problem?

i have the same problem. i change the ip settings over serial with:

1. 

192.168.0.84  
255.255.255.1  
192.168.0.1

1. 

It is stored and also taken over!

Answer of test request:

off  
off  
on  
192.168.0.84  
255.255.255.1  
192.168.0.1  
auto  
half

But if i pinging the device i don’t get an answer. Also the descovery tool don’t find the device with new ip.  
I tried also to do a HW reset but nothing.  
Today morning when i new started up the pc the descovery tool found the device with new ip!?
